And the Winner Is . . .

. . . the 90s ladies' jumpsuit! This entry, sent in by Anna, has earned the dubious title of Most Awesomely Bad Pattern EVER. It was the clear favorite for the win, taking a whopping 83% of your votes.Anna is also the seamstress whose question I last responded to in "Dear Gertie." As you may recall, she's an Air Force wife living in Norway without a sewing machine! I hope her prize of a vintage pattern of her choice from Etsy will inspire her for when she's back up and sewing.

You know where I got the idea? I'm pretty sure I saw it on "Full House" some time back in the day and just had to find the pattern to laugh at. Yes, I had a dozen or so of the dress version for wearing to church. I've never been so glad to grow out of something!

OMG! I had that. I wore it to the 8th grade dance. It was this gorgeous navy rayon. The bib was white with narrow ribbon around the edge (no lace). Oh dear god. I can't believe my mom let me out of the house in it. Much less that she went to so much expense and time on it.Wow. And yes, it was really hard to get out of it to go to the bathroom. And no, I didn't dance. I sat with the boys and watched the basketball game. Yep, that's a winner...
